Stop. I don't want you here. Please leave, I was told your love is...forbidden... |
A FORBIDDEN LOVE Stop if for thou a nefarious angel Relentlessly tormenting my conscience with your divinity Omnipresent even when I do not seek thee Contorting my very sanity ‘till it is left in a mangle Forever I must flee However held steadfast in thee In this realm a place ne’er exist To safeguard against thy tantalizing game Eternally engulfed by amiable pain Even though language ne’er escape your lips Spawned my mental hell, an endless abyss ‘Tis possible for any man to survive With one leg cemented, his brother in mid-leap ‘Tis possible to visualize from whence these emotions derive How the lust for thee became so deep Every time my eyes rest upon thee Every time my mouth cries your name Every time I try to contain Every time I think of thee No other falls near ‘Tis this I fear To succumb to your wish is unbearable For treason against the mind is far too grotesque Nor shall my mouth protest For no matter how desirable How tenderly bitter sweet Ne’er shall our lips meet ‘Tis possible for any man to survive With one leg cement, his brother in mid-leap ‘Tis possible to visualize from whence these emotions derive How the lust for thee became so deep Thou a graceful hellion With malicious ideals Gone numb, my body no longer feels My mind is ruins during this civil rebellion All I have, you have taken I die here forgotten and forsaken Today the sky is as black as thine heart Today I lay my soul to rest Today two souls depart Today no longer do I contest Today my conscience can run free No more thoughts of you and me.
